College Fantasy Football Week 9 Rankings Hub: Lineup advice to help you with start/sit decisions
Yahoo analyst Eric Froton provides all his Week 9 college fantasy football rankings.
Wide receivers across the NFL are experiencing a range of panics heading into Week 8. Rome Odunze of the Chicago Bears is a "some panic" case, as he has shown flashes of being the receiver the Bears could become, but struggles with drops and limited opportunities due to a ground-focused offense. Colston Loveland, another Bears player, has been outstanding recently, making him a top option.
DK Metcalf of the Pittsburgh Steelers is in the "no panic" category. Despite inconsistent production, Metcalf's explosiveness and connection with Aaron Rodgers keep him a reliable choice. A.J. Brown of the New England Patriots is in "total panic." His recent production and limited separation from defenders have left fantasy managers questioning his value.
Lastly, Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings is a "no panic" case. Despite facing an injury and a less dynamic quarterback in Kyler Murray, Jefferson's catching ability remains intact, making him a consistent fantasy asset.
